Happy Birthday to Me...

Happy Birthday to me! Spent the weekend with sister-in-law & kids whilst brother ran the Copenhangen marathon (new p.b of 2:44:21). Birthday was spent feeding ducks down near Lee Valley, before going to the washed out May Fayre in the village. And yesterday it was a trip to the Paradise Wildlife Park. Didn't realise we had lions and cheetahs 2 miles from our house! On Friday, I did a dash to Gloucester on the bike to go to the memorial service of Michael Holmes who died last week, who was the former head of my school. It was no surprise to see the church packed out and it was a lovely service. I stayed on for an hour afterwards to catch up with quite a few old (well, not that old, but mostly retired) teachers and other friends and it was especially great to meet Kath Heathfield again, after nearly 15 years. A lot has happened to both of us in that time, but let not that stand in the way of keeping in touch and remaining friends.
